Most of our government is based on the currency system.On our coins and dollars we have presidents and symbols of states and latin sayings.What is on your money ? Over here in the United States we have to pay taxes to help fix things in our country.What kind of payment do you have to pay each year ? The currently produced U.S. $1 Federal Reserve Note, featuring a portrait of President George Washington.Over here in the U.S. we can use coupons which makes items that we buy cost less. Do you get discounts in your country? We have a bank. This is where people have accounts and where their money is kept. Who keeps your money ? In the U.S we can win money by playing the lottery. Also we have a system called biding to where you can win items if you have the highest bid of money. We aslo donate money to people that have problems and to homeless people.We have a president who leads our country. We also have a government that is a society ruled by a governer.The government makes new money then the money is passed down to the president. He signs a bill to make susre the money is ok. Old coins in our country are worth alot. For an example a coin that was made in the 1800s would cost a couple of thousands of dollars. You can collect quarters from different all around the countery because some quarters have states on the back.

This is our currency. We have (in order from left to right)…
The ten, twenty and fifty cent coins and the one and two dollar coins.
All the designs on the coins are based on our heritage. We have Maori carvings
on the 10 & 20 cent coins and a small design round the edges of the $2 coin. On the
50 cents the picture represents the ship Endeavour, sailed by Captain Cook who was the first of the Europeans to come to New Zealand. The designs on the dollar coins are the kiwi (a national icon) and the respected and very rare white heron.
Recently we’ve changed the size and weight of our coins. The five cent coin (picture shown below) was taken out of circulation and the twenty cents has gained some ‘dimples’ in the sides and lost it’s kiwi picture, so now we only have the carving picture. The ten cents was also changed from a silver colour to copper.
The previous 5 cents. The old 20 cents.The old 10 cents.
Way before today (in fact, in 1967) our currency changed from the crown, half-crown,
florin, shilling, sixpence, threepence, penny, and halfpenny to the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents as well as the 1 and 2 dollar coins and the 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar notes. Dominican Exports
There are many exports in the Dominican Republic but right now I am going to focus on 3, sugar cane, beans and bananas.
The first export is sugar cane. Sugar cane is a big cane where people can get a juice which is where people get sugar. Sugar cane is probably one of the most common exports in the Dominican Republic. There are many fields of sugar cane where mostly Haitian workers chop them off to sell.
Another export that I am going to talk about is more commonly found in the foods in the Dominican Republic than the foods in the United States. I am talking about beans. Beans aren’t exported as much as sugar cane but they’re still exported. Beans are a lot harder to get than sugar cane. That’s because sugar cane comes in big giant fields while beans don’t come in such big fields. That’s why beans are a less common export than sugar cane.
Finally, the last export I shall talk about is more of a tropical fruit and some would even call it golden. It is the banana. The banana is a very common fruit here in the Dominican Republic. That is because it grows in giant bundles on trees. You can find it at stores but you can also see people on the street selling it. Even though you see people selling it on the street it is not so easy to see because bananas spoil easily and a vendor can even be out on the streets for days. That is all you need to know about these exports.
